Testimonials
"One of the things I have appreciated more about this job is the amount of opportunities I had to develop myself, both in hard and soft skills. I feel they have empowered me by giving me responsibility and allowed me to take risks and learn from my mistakes. I think OCS is a company that cares deeply about its people, ready to make timely decisions to ensure welfare and safety for the team. On a personal level, I think the challenge of leading a team comes with great learnings and to have a leadership that assists you on that path is priceless."
"At OCS, every day is a unique chance to work alongside some of the most talented professionals. Reflecting on my three-year journey, I marvel at the growth and the invigorating challenges that came my way, such as spearheading a remote team to organize content for two Olympic games in swift succession and steering the transformation into a world-class platform for sports news. We are a melting pot of innovation and creativity, committed to crafting content that is as diverse as it is inclusive. OCS is a great team to join because it does not only encourages learning and growth but fosters a collaborative spirit to achieve the seemingly impossible, together."
"My oldest Olympic memory is John Akii-Bua in Munich, when he invented the victory lap after winning the 400m hurdles gold medal. Since then, I haven’t missed a single edition of the Olympic Games, and I still have L’Equipe’s daily issues covering this great event since 2000. So asking me how it feels working for the Olympic Channel is like asking someone who loves chocolate getting the chance to work for Willy Wonka. Not only I am fortunate to work for the biggest sport event, but I have the chance to do it with talented people from all around the world."
